When I download Firefox, the icon had a white diagonal cross across it and won't load. It says my system won't support it. I have Mac OS 10.4.11

I tried to upgrade to Firefox 4. It won't run, and I don't know how to get an older version back.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

  • Firefox won't open when I click on the icon. I've tried uninstalling so that I can reinstall, but it says I have to close firefox (which isn't open), so I'm stuck.

    The problem: Firefox won't open when I click on the program.
    Solutions tried: #1) I tried to uninstall the program so that I can download it again, but the screen shows the message "firefox must be clsoed.. to proceed with installation". However, firefox is not open.
    #2) I tried to download firefox, thinking that possibly it would update and solve the problem. However, I get the same error message that "firefox must be clsoed.. to proceed with installation" Problem is that firefox is not open.
    I've done a screen shot, so you can see that I do not have the firefox browser open.

    Thanks for the reply. I tried repairing the permissions (as well as several other things like deleting the Finder preferences file), but no dice.
    Given that the problem cropped up right after updating OS X on two separate machines, it's looking to me like it's just a bug that needs squashing at this point.

  • When I minimize firefox, the icon at the bottom of window screen disappeared.

    * When I minimized the FireFox window, the icon at the bottom of the window screen disappear. I have no way to get the window out anymore, but to initiate another instances of Firefox.
    * Recently I found that Firefox start up is tremendously slow. It seems to slow down my pc a lot too.

    it says hide in the menu but the window is not showing. the only way to get the window to show is the drag 4 fingers down but then it goes away again if i click on window.

  • I cannot download and then bring up Firefox. I had been using it for months but now when I clik on the Icon I get nothing !

    I have been using Firefox for months, but now when I click on the icon I cannot open a page. I tried downloading again but still get tnothing.
    I can get on Explore just fine but I want to get back to using Mozilla Firefox.

    Nothing is worse than IE.
    You can try the following:
    Save your bookmarks.html in
    %userprofile%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles\
    Delete the whole content of the profiles-directory
    Then create a new profile and start FF again. Now you can import your bookmarks.
    Otherwise look here:

  • I have used Firefox for over a year. For some reason it quit working and I can't seem to fix it. I uninstalled and reinstalled the download and it's still not working. When I click on the icon it says unable to connect.

    Yes, if you repurchase it you may lose your progress. The exception would be a game that stored all your progress on a server under your ID
    If you want to retain your progress you have two choices:
    1. Don't apply the update.
    2. Use your fathers account password to update the game.

  • When I download firefox, using recommended setting, or my own, all the sub files/folders like plugins, modules, updater end up on the desktop as well as in the file location. And when I try to put them into the file location, they don't. And when I delete

    When I download firefox, using recommended setting, or my own, all the sub files/folders like plugins, modules, updater end up on the desktop as well as in the file location. And when I try to put them into the file location, they don't. And when I delete them, FireFox won't open. I tried deleting FireFox and reinstalling it multiple times, and a message pops up sometimes that says FireFox may not have installed correctly, so I follow the steps, but all the extra icons on my desktop don't go away. This has happened every time I have downloaded FireFox. The browser itself works, but I need to know how to get rid of these icons, but still be able to use FireFox. This is on a new computer, with Windows 7.
    == I downloaded FireFox. ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 Firefox/3.6.6

    Managed to solve this myself. Just went to properties > hidden.

  • Firefox will not open when I click on the icon (OS X).

    Firefox worked perfectly until I installed the most recent update. After I installed the update Firefox refused to open. When I click on the icon it begins to open but I never see the window and it closes within 3 seconds and I never even get an error message. Help!!!
    == Operating system ==
    OS X

    Also having the same problem.
    I have tried the following with no luck.
    *Uninstalling and deleting profile + profile.ini then reinstalling
    *deleting the .parentlock file
    *deleting and reinstalling version 3.6.8.dmg
    *Checked the activity monitor that the application isn't listed as running
    *Downloaded addtrap and uninstalled again
    all with no luck.
    Try some of these first as they might fix your problem but not mine! ;)
    If anyone knows of something I may be missing I would appreciate any help.
    Thanks

  • I have installed Firefox but when I click on the icon, nothing happens.

    I have just downloaded and installed firefox, but when I click on the icon nothing happens.

    In case you haven't solved this by now...
    Sometimes your security software will block new programs from accessing the internet. Are you getting any alerts along those lines?
    Sometimes Firefox will stall during startup and never display its window. In that case, you may need to manually "kill" the firefox.exe process using the Windows Task Manager before trying to start Firefox again.
    You can display the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Esc. Windows 8.1 has a different display than Windows 7, so I have to go by memory. If you see a tab named Applications, check that one first. Then check Processes, and finally check Details. If you find Firefox or firefox.exe on any of those tabs, select it and End Process (or other action to shut it down).
    After you are done with the Task Manager, try starting Firefox up again.

    Then the next step would be to restore your phone.  My advice is that prior to restoring you import your photos and videos to your computer and back up your contacts (by syncing them with iCloud or to a supported program on your computer using iTunes) as a number of users report losing these when restoring their device.

  • I upgraded to OS Yosemite on my MacBook Air...and I cannot upgrade the Adobe Flash download that Adobe keeps asking me to download. I get the screen and when I click on the icon it just creates a new window but not download. Thoughts?

    I just tried the link and it is just fine. If the GateKeeper pops up then open Security & Privacy preferences, click on the General tab, set the last radio button to Anywhere.
